Winners******** kebgolfer & Séamus Maher

`
























Golfers of any age will love this book great insight into the swing but not to technical and wordy. Great pictures to go along with the lessons as well as videos if you have a Smartphone. See my full review coming soon.

My current swing is modeled around the stack and tilt technique made popular by Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett. I have been utilizing this technique for the past two years and have been able to draw the ball more consistently as a result.

I have been playing golf for 10 years now and my swing is very fluid and smooth and most days I am very accurate. I need to work on my short game more. Speaking of the Masters, me and a golf buddy drove to Augusta yesterday, I live in Atlanta, and we watched a practice round of some of the top players. Also got a few autographs on my hat. If you have never been to the Masters, you need to go check it out. You'll have memories for the rest of your life.

I've been whacking the wee white ball around for 30+ years now.

My swing is not modeled after any particular player or style but is the sum of the input received over the years from my fellow golfers. Not surprisingly the less skilled my fellow player was, the more likely he was to share his ideas about the golf swing.

Nowadays, I do try to focus on 1 swing thought. Its that one critical and mostly unconscious motion that allows me to compensate for all my errors at impact. It can best be seen at:

Wish I would have found this earlier. I've been recording my swing recently to try and get better. If it's not to late let me know! Thanks for a great blog.
